Фонвизин А.В.

Fonvizin Artur Vladimirovich (1882/83, Riga–1973, Moscow).

One of the most original masters who emerged from the Makovets circle, a leading figure in watercolor painting. He studied at the Moscow School of Painting and Painting (1902–1903) with M.P. Klodt and V.N. Baksheev, then at private academies in Munich (1904–1906). Member of the Academy of Artists and Artists, "Society of Moscow Artists". Since the late 1920s. worked almost exclusively in watercolor technique. His style is characterized by free, vibrating strokes, highly liquefied, “flowing” paints, gaps in a white background (sometimes colored paper), creating a world of shaky extravaganzas centered around images of the circus and music (the long-term series “Circus” and “Songs and Romances”). The master's works are in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum.
